time of the backwash can be adjusted if required, refer to page 13 for instructions.
Total backwash cycle takes 35 minutes.

Membrane Flush - Manual Operation
The UF system requires a weekly flush to purge any sediment and organic build-up from the
system.
Open the flush valve slowly until the valve is completely open (see Page 6 for identification).
Flush the system for 5 Minutes and then close the flush valve.
Monthly
TankSafe Backwash Clean – Manual Operation
The UF system requires a chemical backwash every month to cleanse the system from
microbiological and organic build-up.
1. Ensure that the TankSafe suction assembly is connected, and there is 2 L bottle of
TankSafe available.
Ensure cap is only loosely connected, allowing for air to pass into the
container.
2. Open the TankSafe suction line valve (see Page 6 for identification) so that the
handle is parallel with the tubing.
3. To perform a manual backwash, press and hold the UP and DOWN arrows
simultaneously and release when the valve goes into backwash.
4. Once the backwash is complete, close the TankSafe suction line valve so that the
handle is 90 degrees to the tubing.
